When Are We Going Home? - The Ever-Present Alzheimer's Request

Have you ever spent an hour with a toddler, a curious 2-year old with about a million questions? Some of the questions are brand new as the child explores the world. Others have no answers but they ignite the imagination. The third type of question is the one that is repeated over and over: "How many more miles?" "When's dinner?" "Why do I have to do ____?" This last kind of question is the one that an Alzheimer's victim might ask three hundred times each day: "When are we going home?" even when you are home and have not left home all day. It is the sort of question that will have you reach deep into your stores of patience, the patience that you must restock every morning, noon, and night as you reply, "In five minutes."
